"If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well." -

An example of "what if" Ford had sold convertible 1968 GT/CS to the public, was put together by starting with a 1968 convertable stang, and using the unique parts from a real GT/CS.

Those rare parts were holding together what remained of a California Special that a kid thought his dad should have presented him with on his 16th birthday. When he didn't get his way, and blew his top, he put sugar in the gas tank, and broke the windshield.

Do you have, or know of a car in this list that would like to be at this event on Sunday April 26?

If you are in San Diego, can drive one of these to the event, give Doug a call!

"These legislators and supporters helped defeat the legislation against our classics last year.The guests are very appreciative, treat the car owners very well and we participate in all of the festivities - great food, entertainment, pro photographers and the Bali Hai. They ask nothing in return ( not the normal $500. per couple) just our presence.Although you won't know it because they're simply there to enjoy the brunch, the other guests and our cars, there are over 40 Congressman, Senators, Assemblymen, Mayors, Fire Chief and major business owners attending.It is fun and an opportunity that does not come along often - and they support our classics.
